Notch and Egfr signaling act antagonistically to regulate germ-line stem cell niche formation in Drosophila male embryonic gonads.

Abstract:

:Germ-line stem cells (GSCs) are maintained by the somatic microenvironment, or GSC niche, which ensures that GSCs can both self-renew and produce functional gametes. However, it remains unclear how the proper niche size and location are regulated within the developing gonads. In the Drosophila testis, the hub cells that form the GSC niche are derived from a subset of somatic gonadal precursors (SGPs) in the anterior portion of the embryonic gonad. Here we show that Notch signaling induces hub differentiation. Notch is activated in almost all SGPs in the male embryonic gonad, but Epidermal growth factor receptor (Egfr) is activated in posterior SGPs to repress hub differentiation, thereby restricting the expansion of hub differentiation in the embryonic gonad. We further show that Egfr is activated in posterior SGPs by Spitz ligand secreted from primordial germ cells (PGCs), whereas the Notch ligand Serrate is expressed in SGPs. This suggests that varying the number of PGCs alters niche size. Indeed, a decrease in the number of PGCs causes ectopic hub differentiation, which consequently increases their opportunity to recruit PGCs as GSCs. When ectopic hub differentiation is repressed, the decreased number of PGCs fails to become GSCs. Thus, we propose that SGPs sense PGC number via signals from PGCs to SGPs that modulate niche size, and that this serves as a mechanism for securing GSCs.

  • Pattern of interleukin 6 gene expression in vivo suggests a role for this cytokine in angiogenesis.
